Become Overpowered CEO of Hero Clan – 061

Isaac, who expressed his intention to enter the ancient rift, quickly memorized detailed information received from the association within two hours.

In addition, to regulate the condition of the members, he prevented any missions from being performed until Hero’s Day and prepared various types of battle items and potions to supplement battles.

Despite these preparations, isaac, anxious until the day before D-day, visited the training center, practicing the movements of the Harvest Fist and showing dedication to preparing for any situation.

Isaac’s movements, sweating as he walked and striking poses, were noticeably more restrained than before.

As if bEllieeving that such efforts would someday save his life, he repeated the movements for hours with an expressionless face.

Of course, all the techniques of Harvest Fist were not effective at all without a single drop of magic power, and he somewhat looked amateurish like a trainee who had recently entered the hero industry.

However, until obtaining another unique magic stone, the only way he could make up for the lack of survival mechanisms was to use Harvesting Fist, albeit imperfectly.

– Chak.

–

Having finished refining the Harvest Fist, isaac returned home and, after showering, immediately opened a book. It was a specialized book on armed techniques.

Isaac’s eyes, reading the complex numbers and characters in an instant, gave a hazy yet sharp impression, showing a distinctly different Feeling.

“Insert it directly into the 4th floor, and until then, there shouldn’t be any monsters chasing the lever. Then around the royal tomb…”

He muttered something until he fell asleep. It seemed like he was running a simulation of the conquest of the ancient rift in his mind.

Meanwhile, at the same moment, in a desolate plain.

– Hwaaaaaah! –

– Crackling.

–

A roaring fire shot towards the cliff made of giant rocks. Shaped like a living flame dragon, its long form surrounded by yellowish-white lightning that seemed to have swallowed thunder and lightning, and its momentum threatened to wipe out an entire mountain range.

– Kwagwa-gwa— Kwagwa-gwa-gwa-gwa— Kwaaaaah! –

As soon as the lightning-covered flame dragon opened its mouth and struck the cliff, a thunderous noise erupted when the visible corner of the cliff disappeared, leaving only scattered rock fragments behind the dust cloud.

The flame dragon, surrounded by lightning, pierced through the giants, creating a massive hole and completely altering the terrain of the cliff.

“Looks roughly done.”

“Good job.”

The ones wielding such powerful techniques were none other than the S-rank heroes, Flame Emperor, and Electric Guy.

“Ugh, what’s with that unfitting tone? Did you swear at me?”

“Nonsense. Look back at your usual self. Do you think I would raise my voice to anyone?”

– Clap, clap, clap.

–

At that moment, applause was heard. The gaze of the two S-rank heroes turned to a white-haired gentleman standing with shoulders squared. It was none other than the association chairman, God Hand.

“It seems you’ve completed the combination technique.”

“It’s not perfect, but it came out with quite a decent power.”

“Well, do I really have to join forces with him?”

“Don’t act like a kid. I’m not doing this just because I like it.”

Even in front of God Hand, the two bickered. Despite being S-rank heroes in the Republic of Korea and holding positions in the Disaster Response Committee, they treated each other without pretense, reflecting the long years of relationship with each other.

“Is the one trapped inside still alive?”

“He might have died, or his ego might have collapsed.”

“Then why do we have to do this?”

“Tsk, didn’t I say it? He might still be alive. That guy from 30 years ago had a mysterious vitality. The only purify him was to use flame or lighting, and back then, there were no heroes like you.”

“I never thought the stories that sounded like urban legends were true. That villain sealed deep in the ancient rift…”

Flame Emperor and Electric Guy seemed to have received a special mission related to the ancient rift.

God Hand, with a furrowed brow as if his head hurt, grumbled.

“I wanted to confirm its life, and also take care of those troublesome guys at the same time. They didn’t even know how to use their heads like this. That child was the only one who was unfortunate. Haha.”

The chairman chuckled bitterly. Five years ago, he spread false information among the notorious villain union that a legendary weapon was sealed in the lowest layer of the ancient rift.

However, recently, a spy was exposed, losing her life, and the plan to annihilate the villains also failed.

“Those masked guys? They’ll figure things out on their own, won’t they?”

“I can’t be sure. Knowing that we’ll weaken the seal of the ancient rift tomorrow, they might forcefully break in to get something.”

“Well, what about our heroes? What about their heroes? Do you know how hard it is to nurture an A-rank hero?”

“You! Don’t underestimate me. I’ve put a reverse spell on everyone. And considering how vast the ancient rift is, why worry about such things?”

“A reverse spell? Are you sure that’s okay?”

“Our heroes have to be lucky. And if we unfold it only before they escape, it won’t significantly shorten their lifespan. Besides, who knows if those guys will come or not.”

I couldn’t even be the association chairman if you asked me. When did you prepare all of that? You are already busy enough.”

“You rascal, do you think I’d let you be the chairman? Unlike you, if it were Flame Emperor…”

“What? Huh? What’s with this discriminatory remark? Am I not a person? Am I getting hurt?”

“Noisy, let’s go eat. If we handle this well, there won’t be any problems until the end of the year.”

“Not just with a meal, right? We need to give our heroes at least one award.”

“Stop! That’s bribery.”

Electric Guy’s talk about compensation caused an uproar from Flame Emperor. The two seemed to mix like water and oil but strangely complemented each other.

October 15th, heroes’ Day.

A date between the end of Hanro and the beginning of Sanggam, a day to honor heroes and merit holders who sacrificed themselves for the country before the cold dew and frost fell.

Also, a day when the notorious villain union leader who attempted to overthrow the country in the past was disposed of, contributing to the stability and peace of the nation.

The memorial park was crowded from the entrance.

‘Wow, there are so many people.’

As if the difficulties started from the moment they got out of the car and met the members, people who recognized them continued to greet them.

Moreover, designated seats for S-rank heroes were set at the front row, making them feel uneasy before the event even started.

Are dozens of cameras going to capture us?

– Buzzing.

–

Maybe it was because of their mood, but everyone they passed seemed to mutter their names.

‘Real stars do suffer from celebrity disease.’

– Swoosh.

–

Curious if the members were following well, isaac turned around. They all had a professional look, receiving full makeup and wearing solemn expressions.

Even Gil-seong, who sticks to warm tones, came out in a black dress today. Worries about controversies over memorial clothing shouldn’t arise.

“Ah! Have you come?”

“Isn’t it Director Isaac? Haha, nice to see you.”

At that moment, senior government and association officials came one by one to shake hands. They looked like middle-aged people in their 50s, and wearing silver or gold badges on their chests seemed appropriate. Honestly, isaac had no idea who was who.

On the other hand, the heroes calmly sat down, displaying a dazzling visual. With cameras all around, it must be nerve-wracking.

‘Famous heroes seem to have almost all come.’

Quite a few heroes with a good reputation attended. They were all so handsome and beautiful that it reached the point of feEllieng alien. If SNS stars saw them, they’d feel quite inferior. How could they carry around faces that seemed meticulously retouched in real life?

‘Real synchronization rate.’

Among them, the heroes scheduled to enter the ancient rift today were also visible. Comparing the illustrations of heroes in memory with their real-life visuals was quite amusing.

First, among the S-rank, there was the S-rank dubbed as an S-rank, sword Emperor Baek Mu-seong. He led the Cheoncheon Baekga clan, and they radiated a refreshing aura in their eyes.

“Baek So-hye and Baek Nam-gi. Both are above level 50.”

The second and third children of Sword Emperor, both had mysterious white hair. They were quite popular, so their clan’s recruitment rate was high.

‘Is she the representative of the Dawn Clan?’

Next, catching my eye was the mischievous character, ‘Ellie’, who captivated the hearts of male users, emptying their wallets.

Similar to Gil-seong, she was a ranged dealer, one of the few archers in Clan of Heroes. Currently, she was an A-class hero affiliated with ‘Dawn Clan’, led by the S-class hero Yoho.

While the Dawn Clan’s leader might be ominous, Ellie herself seemed gentle, putting my mind at ease.

Communication was cut off in the Ancient Rift, so whatever happened inside remained unknown to those outside. I didn’t hire a hacker to pull up the Ancient Rift deployment list for no reason.

Heroes united with self-sacrifice and a sense of justice, but in front of a legendary treasure, everyone tends to turn a blind eye. Inside, everyone is a competitor for the ‘Unique Magic Stone’ I’m trying to farm.

‘I’m a bit concerned about them.’

The most worrisome was the blond troublemaker, Electric Guy, leading the Twilight Dawn. The dignified handsome man sitting ahead with his shoulder’s wide was the representative A-class hero of Dawn, ‘Iron Fury’.

As the hero’s name suggests, he can make his body as tough as iron.

He’s been active under Electric Guy for eight years, his mind couldn’t be normal. He’s the opponent to avoid the most in the Ancient Rift.

– Noisy.

–

– Bubbling.

–

I wanted to check the information window for the ‘Light of Creation’ and ‘Holy Oath’, the two clans connected to the six major clans, but suddenly, the memorial service became noisy.

It was because the chairman, Flame Emperor, and Electric Guy appeared simultaneously. Dressed in black suits, they walked towards me solemnly, gesturing for me to join them.

“I’m glad you came. Let’s go.”

Other S-class heroes were busy with overseas schedules. Since there were only four S-class heroes in the memorial service, I had no choice but to take a good picture with them.

Heroes and politicians, high-ranking officials exchanged quiet greetings, and soon the atmosphere quieted down as the memorial service began.

The memorial service, consisting of national rituals, reading of letters, awarding certificates to heroes, and a commemorative performance, ended with grandeur.

After the national ritual echoed through the voice of the S-class hero Flame Emperor, the following reading of the letter was done by the grandson of the late General Kang Gyu-sik, who was also a hero and a high-ranking army officer. The letter was essentially a ‘poem’, expressing praise and longing for General Kang Gyu-sik’s deep camaraderie and spirit of sacrifice.

General Kang Gyu-sik had been a hero who greatly contributed to suppressing the worst villain on the Korean Peninsula, ‘Aqua Shaper’.

Offerings and incense were attended by representatives of the military, police, and fire departments, along with 4 A-class heroes with the highest reputation.

Certificates of national merit were awarded to 10 heroes, including three heroes who bravely met their end while protecting a civilian cruise ship from a level 1 sea monster in the West Sea earlier this year.

In addition, the names of heroes and officials who passed away this year were recited, commemorating their sacrifices.

In South Korea, the number of people who died while on duty exceeded a thousand annually. More than half of them were heroes. Although most were of D-rank, there were also C-rank and B-rank heroes, but only one A-rank hero.

The stronger one’s power, the higher the chances of survival, following the natural order.

The memorial service continued with a grand choral piece, honoring the great achievements and peace of the merit holders. The ceremony concluded with all attendees singing the song ‘Hero’s Day,’ which eulogized both heroes and fallen public officials, designating them all as heroes.

On this day, hero Association Chairman God Hand expressed his hope that the month of remembrance, starting from remembering all those who sacrificed their lives for the nation and its people, would become a month of inheriting and commemorating the spirit of the fallen.
